Shallow water Snaps

Wife and I took the little boat to Waitakaruru and launched at one of the rivers couple hours before high tide, was home an hour and a half after high tide with 10 snaps and a whopper of a gurnard, 35s to 50s all fat fish no throwbacks, gotta love fishing in 2m of water, raw fish for entree me thinks tonight

Today woulda been the day nice n flat, how do the skis go in dirty water? where we launch is really muddy, does it have any effect on the jet or motor ?

The jetski don't mind dirty water, but can have issues with debris (flax really sucks, excuse the pun!). The manufacturers recommend 60cm of water underneath intake to avoid sucking sticks and stones off the bottom, but on the move this isn't an issue.
The firth is a well known birthing area for big bronze whaler sharks, and there are heaps and heaps of hammerheads, we often see them sunbathing on the surface in summer, mostly small ones but it makes you wonder where mum is.... I heard secondhand that work crews flying Auckland-Coromandel by helicopter used to count over 100 hammerheads on some trips, with some very large ones seen
